The Video Recorder uses the Expression Recorder 4 to record the video from the screen.
The result is a link that ends with .xesc that you will not be able to play.
What can we do in order to play it?
In order to play these files install one of the two:
Expression Encoder 4
Screen Capture Code
After installing One of the two Windows Media Player will be able to play these files.
Note: The second one is the codec only and is included in the first
Have Fun!!!

Step 2: Run a command line as administrator (Right click –> Run as admin)

Step 4: Type – stsadm.exe –o export –url –filename
For example: stsadm.exe –o export –url “http://myserver/sites/defaultcollection/mysite” –filename “c:\EranRuso.cab”
What about import?
Do the same thing just...

I hear this question a lot!!!

When it happens the users are getting in to panic mode because all there history is not where they expect it to be…
So where is it and what do I need to do in order to see my history?
In order to see what happens lets create a similar situation where my history “disappears”:
I will take the branch Iteration 2 from Development folder...

I have been asked a few times about a Team Build 2010 guide.
I have taught on writing one and then I have seen this grate guide written by Ewald Hofman:
http://www.ewaldhofman.nl/post/2010/04/20/Customize-Team-Build-2010-e28093-Part-1-Introduction.aspx
I have only read chapters 2 and 4 but I could see that this is a very serious guide.
Ewald has done a very good job in covering all the important sections of the Team Build 2010, with very good explanations, step by step descriptions and good screenshots.
Have Fun!!!
